Zed

Configure Zed to use docpenny’s MCP tools for PDF generation.

Note: Zed’s config uses the context_servers key (snake_case) and supports remote MCP servers directly via URL — no bridge needed.

Prerequisites

  • A docpenny API key (create one in Settings → API Keys in the dashboard)

Configuration

Add to ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "docpenny": {
      "url": "https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual docpenny API key. Zed connects to the remote MCP server directly using the Streamable HTTP transport.

Troubleshooting
